Use the higher rate when pest pressure is high or 2nd instar larvae are present. Ensure product placement as close to soil surface as possible. Total application volume should not be lower than 500 L/ha. For best results use extremely coarse droplets [Turbo Floodjet* (TF5) or TurfJet* (TTJ10)]. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy grass.

GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
Fungicide Resistance Warning For insecticide resistance management Moxam is a Group 4A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Moxam and other Group 4 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Moxam or other Group 4 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Moxam Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant insects is difficult to detect prior to use, Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Moxam Insecticide to control resistant insects. For further information contact your supplier, Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
